When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday, the crowds expected a triumphant conqueror—someone to overthrow their oppressors and exact revenge. But instead of swords and vengeance, Jesus brought a kingdom of humility and sacrifice. He came not to pay back but to give himself up, fulfilling his radical call to “turn the other cheek.” As we journey from the palm-strewn road to Golgotha, we’ll see how Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection perfectly embody what he taught in Matthew 5:38–42: love your enemies, resist retaliation, and trust in a God whose justice is fueled by mercy. Join us as we discover how true victory over evil often looks far different from the world’s expectations.
